How to consume less data in my mobile rate

Getting the contracted mobile data rate to arrive until the end of the month is usually a real odyssey. The majority of people who use the Internet in the mobile phone in the middle of the month or before tend to consume the megabytes hired. There are applications like My Data Manager that tell you the consumption per app. In .com we want to help you with tips on how to consume less data in your mobile rate, and you will see how you will save megas to make ends meet.

Steps to follow:

one

We started with some very basic and perhaps obvious advice, but it is worth remembering them. Use the Wi-Fi network whenever you can, at home, at work, or when you go out there, the vast majority of establishments have open networks or require a password, so ask for it and spend less data on your rate. You should also avoid downloading all kinds of documents, and viewing videos online.

two

Apart from the best known initial tips, your smartphone spends data continuously and with some guidelines you can avoid unnecessary expense.

Make sure that the applications you have installed are updated only when you connect to the Wi-Fi network. Many phones have automatic updates by default, so at the moment they start, if you are outside of a Wi-Fi network, you will consume many megabytes. For example, applications such as Facebook or Twitter are updated very often, and even Google Maps, when updated, can reach a consumption of 6 megabytes. So set the mobile by activating the update option when you connect to the Wi-Fi network.

Generally the applications that you have installed on your mobile have constant notifications : whatsapp, e-mail, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Linkedin ... So if you do not mind being updated to the second, we recommend that you turn off some notifications that you care less, because this way you will avoid an excessive expense of megas.

Access pages optimized for mobile whenever you have the option. If every time you browse you find a page and you can choose the mobile version, enter it. Mobile web versions are optimized to consume less. The consumption of a conventional website that is not overloaded may be around 4 megabytes of download.

We have already commented that there are applications to see the consumption of data by application as is the case of My Data Manager . But there are also others that serve to reduce download megas, work as data compressors sending lighter versions, an example of application is Onavo Extend, which is free and available for Android and iOS.

If you use WhatsApp you are losing many megabytes. This application is responsible for many people do not reach the end of the month with their mobile data rate. If you can not do without it, at least try to disable the automatic download of images and videos, and do not participate much in group chats, because they consume a lot.

This last advice is very complex to follow for a network addict. But if you can support not using the Internet constantly, with applications such as Data On Demand, you deactivate data traffic every time your mobile phone blocks. There are also other very interesting applications such as Droidwall that block the consumption of data for certain applications.
